Fuel Quality Engine issues Poll

[mardon]

Just wondering if the fuel used in our TSI engines relates to the various issues we’ve seen over the last year.

Please vote as honestly as possible with the fuel you use the most. If you only use v-power once in a while vote on the 95ron poll.

95Ron is standard fuel,
97Ron+ is BP, Total and i’m going to include Tesco 99Ron in the Premium Fuel section
99+ is Vpower or better where available.

 

[mardon]

If you vote issues please post a v quick descripton of what the problem is.

Cheers.

V-Power issues.
Injectors crumbled so got a new engine

 

[mardon]

Worrying. Reason I posted is the new Fabia VRS says 97 minimum yet ours says 95. I was wondering if it was the fuel quality that was causing problems.

I have only used either Super Unleaded or V Power since i bought the car.
I have only done just over 1200 miles and, touch wood, i have not had any issues yet (although i have had to use about a litre and a half of oil, which i'm slightly worried about)

VPower issues

Still ongoing. Lack of power when accelerating, Juddering, iracting idling, Emissions light. Occasionally epc light

Thats the way the all seem to die TSI Boy, not good

Just keep an eye on the oil levels Gw19, it should level out. Mine is very good on oil how did you run the car in?

I know be interesting to see how many issues are flagged up through this poll and if they can be linked to a fuel type

I kept it below 3k rpm for the first 1000 miles and i let it warm up before beasting it!

Great idea, will be interesting to see the results..

V-Power / momentum

Emission fault, problem with lambda sensor which the garage blamed on my induction kit....

I only use Repsol 98RON. No issues

When I got my car I just used standard 95RON and then I had issues with a failed turbo. When I got the car back from a new turbo being fitted, I have only used BP ultimate and have had no problems since.

As i posted on another thread ive heard a number of tsi engines were run on the wrong fuel at factory causing some off these problems. Cant 100% confirm the truth but its what i was told on my last training course. Might be why seat are just allowing engines to be put in.

I didn't nurse mine. I used it normally without red lining it. 18k 0.5ltrs of oil used. Jason hardly uses any and he droves his normally as well.

From what I’ve seen nursing these TSi's can result in excessive oil usage.

I use any petrol stations from supermarkets to shell to bp. I remember for 5 months I just used unleaded petrol, had no problems and I started using super unleaded, no problems.

Same as Faulk, only Repsol 98RON (outside UK). No issues.

i did use oil on the initial 2000k but it whats about 200ml. always been run on v-power. also using 5w 40 spec quatum oil.

95 ron no issues, must say though mines being jerky and feels very ruff in this cold weather.
